INSANE THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS

HORISHIMA AND NAGASAKI ARE NO LONGER

RADIOACTIVE BECAUSE THE BOMBS

DETONATED ABOVE THE GROUND

TSUTOMU YAMAGUCHI WAS A JAPANESE MAN

WHO SURVIVED BOTH BOMBINGS

SHIGEKI TANAKA, ANOTHER SURVIVOR,

WON THE BOSTON MARATHON IN 1951

THE TWO BOMBS DROPPED ON JAPAN WERE

CODE NAMED FAT MAN AND LITTLE BOY

THE BOMB THAT WAS DROPPED ON NAGASAKI WAS

SUPPOSED TO BE DROPPED ON THE CITY OF KOKURA,

JAPAN BUT A CLOUD BLOCKED THE MUNITIONS PLANT

THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL TARGET. THE BOMBER WAS

SUPPOSED TO DROP ONLY ON VISUAL IDENTIFICATION

A BONSAI TREE THAT WAS PLANTED IN 1626

SURVIVED THE BLAST AT HIROSHIMA AND IS

NOW KEPT IN A MUSEUM IN THE UNITED STATES

A TSUNAMI HIT THE CITY OF HIROSHIMA ONE MONTH

AFTER THE BOMBING AND KILLED ANOTHER

2,000 PEOPLE

10% OF ELECTRICITY IN THE UNITED STATES IS

GENERATED FROM DISMANTLED NUCLEAR BOMBS

IN 1962, THE UNITED STATES DETONATED A BOMB

THAT WAS 100 TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN THE

BOMBS DROPPED ON JAPAN. DON'T WORRY THOUGH,

THE BOMB WAS DETONATED IN SPACE, NEARLY

400 KM (250 MILES) ABOVE THE PACIFIC OCEAN
